Praia de Samil

The 1250-meter beach presents broad stretches of golden sand along the Atlantic coast, with clear views toward the Cíes Islands in the distance.

The beach area underwent substantial development during the 1970s when the city of Vigo expanded its recreational facilities to accommodate growing tourism.

Local residents gather at Samil Beach during summer evenings to participate in traditional Galician festivities featuring regional music and fresh seafood.

The beach maintains three swimming pools, sports courts, and numerous restaurants along its promenade, with regular bus services connecting to Vigo city center.

At the western end of Samil Beach, the Lagares River meets the Atlantic Ocean, creating a natural boundary where fresh and salt water converge.
